I think I shall fall, soon
Down, down, down, never to rise again
I can already feel my grip sliding
An earthly load crushes my spine,
Warps it to meet the expectations of the world
Who suffocates me with their hopes
Now the pain is constant
Now it is not likely
That I shall live to see twenty
Oh gods, it hurts
Can't they see my youth?
My inexperience?
Or will they send me to my demise?
(doIdarewelcomeit?)
What makes us stronger, what makes us break?
I can't tell the difference from the perpetual ache
Alone we are weary, together I cry
The foes that are haunting me never will die
Day after day I sit on the beach
Mourning for something just out of my reach
Night after night I brood on the sands
Watching time trickle through immortal hands
Hours may pass and the shadows may fall
But you'll still be the prettiest one of them all
